Protect Our Patriarch

Book 2: Chapter 3: My daughter has the appearance of an Emperor

This also had a benefit, it set a good atmosphere for the clan.

Even the Clan Leader and his wife were so loving, respectful, and harmonious.

Other couples naturally followed suit.

What frustrated Wang Shouzhe the most was that every time he advanced and became stronger, Liu Ruolan would always advance one step ahead of him, and he still couldn't beat her!

Wasn't it just a few months before Wang Shouzhe could fully refine his Qi?

Yet Liu Ruolan, who usually took care of the children and didn't seem to work hard, had already achieved perfection before him.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Wang Shouzhe wanted to enhance his bloodline for the second time.

At least he could ensure that if he accidentally used too much strength, he wouldn't make his wife a widow.

"My lord, I personally made this bowl of lotus seed soup for you, you drink it first. Actually, it's not that I intentionally hid it from you, you just never asked." Liu Ruolan said innocently, "Besides, didn't you also hide your bloodline back then? On our wedding night, those vines of yours really scared me."

Liu Ruolan was quite reasonable when she wasn't provoked.

This one advantage made Wang Shouzhe quite relieved.

Thus, Wang Shouzhe happily finished the lotus seed soup. Although the lotus seed soup, which should have been sweetened, was accidentally seasoned with top-grade fine salt by his wife, and it seemed quite a lot.

He still smiled and said, good cooking, my wife.

"Thank you for your praise, my lord. By the way, my lord. Ruotong came to report that the Spirit Testing Platform you commissioned the Array Master to purchase and supervise the construction of at the Academy has been completed. When do you have time in the next few days to go and inspect it? Coincidentally, our daughter Liyao has also reached the age to test her aptitude.

"If Liyao has the aptitude of Xuanwu, we should start nurturing her meridians and prepare for cultivation." Liu Ruolan gently reminded, truly a virtuous wife.

Speaking of their precious daughter, Wang Shouzhe's face lit up: "My daughter, Wang Shouzhe's precious daughter, is definitely extraordinarily talented."

The Spirit Testing Platform was a huge investment by Wang Shouzhe, costing no less than ten thousand Top Gold for the platform and labor.

Normally, clans who want to test their children's aptitude need to go to the official Spirit Testing Platform of the Changning Guard Office.

That Spirit Testing Platform is open to the whole world, even civilians can apply. But each test costs ten Top Gold, and it's not open for testing whenever you want. freewёbnoνel.com

Now, it's not that the Wang's Clan can't afford the testing fee.

It's just that there are many peculiar bloodlines in the family, and Wang Shouzhe doesn't want all kinds of peculiar bloodlines to cause a stir.

Most ordinary clans, firstly, don't have the money to build a Spirit Testing Platform. Secondly, even if they occasionally test a child with good aptitude, it's a matter of family honor, so they don't have the same concerns as Wang Shouzhe.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe has some other ideas about the Spirit Testing Platform.

Therefore, it was imperative to build a Spirit Testing Platform at home. Even if it cost a lot of favors and tens of thousands of Top Gold, it was worth it.

With this in mind, Wang Shouzhe said: "Let's go tomorrow, and notify my brothers and sisters to retest their aptitude."

The last time Wang Shouzhe tested his aptitude was when he was seven years old, and he didn't know how his aptitude had changed after the concentration of his bloodline had changed?

After this matter was settled.

Wang Shouzhe looked around and saw no one, then whispered: "My wife, since your 'Xuan Shui True Scripture' has been cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, we haven't sparred for a long time."

Liu Ruolan's face turned slightly red, and a hint of spring appeared in her almond eyes. She also blushed and whispered: "My lord, your 'Chang Chun True Scripture' is also about to be perfected. I indeed haven't experienced your prowess for a long time."

"But the children are still studying in the study... I'm afraid it's not convenient." She said with a blush, somewhat hesitant.

Wang Shouzhe smiled and said: "No problem, we can go to Shuiyue Pavilion."

Shuiyue Pavilion.

That was a small villa that Wang Shouzhe had built on a small island in the center of Zhuwei Lake after filling and expanding the land over the years.

It was a secret base for the couple.

The main purpose of its construction was to temporarily get away from the naughty children. The couple could enjoy the moon and the lake alone, and if they were happy, they could spar with Xuanwu martial arts.

There was no other meaning, just the literal meaning.

Liu Ruolan's beautiful eyes moved, obviously very tempted. After a slight hesitation, she whispered, "Okay, I'll follow my lord's arrangement."

With that.

After giving some instructions to Qiao'er, the couple disappeared.

An hour later.

The two children who were studying hard in the study.

Suddenly.

They realized that they hadn't seen their parents for a long time.

Wang Liyao pouted: "Daddy promised to tell the story of Chang'e, why hasn't he come yet?""Mother said she would come to check our homework, but she didn't show up either." Wang Zong'an rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be that they are practicing the Basalt combat skills again?"

"Most likely, our parents have been quite diligent in their cultivation recently."

A cold sweat trickled down the face of the maid standing nearby.

...

The next day, in the backyard of the Wang's Clan main house.

An empty and uninhabited courtyard was utilized to construct a Spirit Testing Platform.

The Spirit Testing Platform, shaped like a Bagua, was carved from a type of white jade, adorned with many mysterious and difficult-to-understand runes.

Five pillars were erected at different positions, each similarly decorated with various array master runes. A crystal ball was placed in the center of the platform.

This Spirit Testing Platform was a standardized product sold by the Zifu Academy. Array masters merely supervised its construction after purchasing it.

Its primary driving force was spirit stones, which needed to be installed in the five pillars. freewebnovel.cσ๓

Each activation and deactivation consumed a significant amount of extra energy.

Therefore, once the official Spirit Testing Platform was activated, it would not be turned off until the energy of the spirit stones was exhausted. This led to families and clans gathering all those who needed testing to register at once.

Even so, the consumption of spirit stone energy was quite severe. Five spirit stones could only test about a hundred people. On average, the pure cost per person was five Top Golds.

However, the official price was ten Top Golds per person. After deducting the long-term maintenance cost of the Spirit Testing Platform and other expenses, the authorities could still make a small profit.

Today.

Some of the younger brothers and sisters of the Wang's Clan were gathered in front of the Spirit Testing Platform.

At the same time, a group of young boys and girls were gathered in the empty rooms in the backyard.

They were all children of the appropriate age that the Wang's Clan had gathered from collateral branches, servants, tenant farmers, and other sources. They were carefully selected children who seemed to have a certain spiritual aura.

The main reason for doing this was to not waste spirit stones, and to see if they could find one or two children with Basalt aptitude by chance.

Statistically speaking, the collateral branches had the highest probability, as their bloodline was closest to the Basalt practitioners.

As for ordinary families, it was purely a matter of luck.

Who knew how many generations in their lineage had not produced a Basalt practitioner? Or even if there were those with Basalt bloodline, they might have missed the opportunity due to lack of testing ability.

According to Wang Shouzhe's knowledge, the Zifu Academy had conducted similar tests.

Among the children of ordinary families, if the children were not pre-selected based on intelligence and other indicators, on average, one child with Basalt bloodline would be found among three hundred.

What a terrifying cost!

If a strict selection process was carried out first, eliminating eighty percent of the children who seemed less intelligent, had poor physical quality, and lacked intelligence, the collateral branches could be more lenient. This could increase the probability to one or two in two hundred.

Of course, such a selection process would inadvertently eliminate those with aptitude, but it was the optimal strategy for controlling costs.

Therefore, the vast majority of noble families would not invest money and resources in this.

Most families could barely support their own bloodline members, let alone seek out bloodline gems among the commoners.

But Wang Shouzhe was a bit different.

Perhaps because he had been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years, he had some prejudice against most loose cultivators.

If he wanted to strengthen the clan, in addition to expanding the scale of his own bloodline members, he had to consider the issue from the perspective of enhancing the family's generals.

If he could unearth some children with bloodline aptitude from the commoners, they would be more malleable, and their identification and dependence on the Wang's Clan would be stronger.

Perhaps in the short term, it seemed like a loss-making business.

But this was a plan that involved a hundred years, or even a longer and higher level, and was of great strategic significance. Even if only one was discovered each year, the accumulation over the years would make the Wang's Clan stronger and stronger, and most of the children saved by the bloodline generals would also have good aptitude.

However, only a tycoon like Wang Shouzhe, who had a strong ability to make money, could do this.

The little savings of ordinary Basalt families were not enough to cultivate their own bloodline members, let alone do this?

This time, only eighty or ninety children were gathered, mainly to test the Spirit Testing Platform. Wang Shouzhe was prepared for the possibility that not even one Basalt bloodline practitioner would be found.

Under the guidance of the array master.

The Wang's Clan members activated the Spirit Testing Platform, and the transparent crystal ball in the middle slowly floated up.

The clan members first arranged for an ordinary child to test. The child pressed his hand on the crystal ball, and a light enveloped the child. Then the crystal ball emitted a faint red light.

Those with testing experience knew that this was a failure. The bloodline concentration was extremely low, far from the level of lower-grade aptitude, and it was difficult to cultivate Xuanqi.

The second child went up randomly, this time slightly brighter, but still far from the lower-grade aptitude.

Damn, ten Top Golds were thrown away in a short while.

Wang Shouzhe almost doubted whether there was a problem with the Spirit Testing Platform, so he sent Wang Shouyong to try. He remembered that he had a lower-grade C-level aptitude, and had taken some pills to slightly improve his aptitude over the past two years.He stepped forward for a test, and the crystal ball immediately lit up brightly, with a strong red light. According to the scale, it was still a lower-grade C, but it was already close to B.

It seemed that the spirit platform test was working fine.

Wang Shouzhe let his clan members accompany the array master to rest with a cup of spiritual tea, and then began testing his own clan members.

Wang Luotong was the first to go, hmm~ lower-grade B, leaning towards the upper end. After consuming some stone marrow, she might be able to reach A.

The rest of the clan members went up one by one, making the testing quite lively. However, apart from Wang Luomiao's lower-grade A, the rest were at most B.

Finally, it was Wang Luojing's turn. As soon as she stepped up for the test, the crystal ball burst into a dazzling red light. At the same time, mysterious specks were swirling within the red light, as if it was a special bloodline talent.

Middle-grade A!

Wang Shouzhe gasped in surprise. Even though he knew the result, he was still shocked. How much stone marrow had this girl consumed in the past?

Next, Wang Luoqiu stepped up, also achieving a middle-grade A. However, within her red light, there were golden specks swirling around, clearly indicating her battle body bloodline.

Usually, when reaching the middle-grade, bloodline anomalies would appear.

Then Wang Shouzhe also joined in the fun. The result showed that he was a middle-grade C, leaning towards the upper end. Similarly, there were green specks swirling around. Reaching C grade was not purely due to the drop of stone marrow he had consumed years ago.

Over the years, Wang Shouzhe had consumed a lot of resources in order to awaken his second bloodline. As a result, he had barely squeezed into the middle-grade D, gaining a small level, but he was still far from awakening his second bloodline.

However, compared to the old ancestor Long Yan, he was slightly stronger. The second bloodline could only be awakened by those with top-grade aptitude. Such aptitude was rare even in the entire Longzuo Commandery.

Interjecting a sentence, it's really good, worth installing, and even supports Android and Apple phones!

Now Wang Shouzhe had a broader perspective and could roughly understand the situation. Generally, those who could reach the middle-grade in the Qi Refining Realm would almost certainly reach the Spirit Platform Realm.

With the awakening of another bloodline after advancing to the Spirit Platform Realm, they would have the qualifications to try for the Heavenly Human Realm, it was just a matter of probability.

If they had two awakenings in the Qi Refining Realm and awakened the third in the Spirit Platform Realm, as long as they didn't lack resources, reaching the Heavenly Human Realm would be a certainty. In the future, they would have a certain probability of reaching the Purple Mansion Realm and nurturing a small human in the Purple Mansion. (This can be roughly understood as the Elemental Infant)

Such geniuses were the focus of cultivation in the Purple Mansion Academy, usually treated as Purple Mansion seeds and cultivated as direct disciples.

Sure enough, when Wang Lici stepped up for a test... she achieved a top-grade D!

Obviously, when she shared the jade marrow with Luoqiu and Luojing, she must have eaten more.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for her to achieve a double awakening with just one Zhu fruit!

Wang Lici suddenly became smug, acting like the big sister, which made Wang Shouzhe want to beat her.

Unfortunately, this woman had an extraordinary talent, but she was extremely lazy in cultivation, and so far she had barely reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Let Liyao give it a try." Liu Ruolan suggested with a twinkle in her eyes, "It's said that the innate Dao fetus spirit seed will have a significant impact on the next generation. Of course, this only applies to the first child. You can see how much worse Yuanrui and Ruolei are compared to me."

Unfortunately, her brother Liu Yuanhui missed the innate Dao fetus spirit seed... But this was Wang Shouzhe's luck!

Wang Shouzhe immediately perked up, holding his precious daughter onto the stage and teaching her how to test.

Then, a red light blinded Wang Shouzhe's eyes. Within the dazzling red light, there was a strong blue water elemental force. Obviously, she had a water elemental bloodline physique.

Wang Shouzhe was stunned!

Several breaths later, he burst into hearty laughter, laughing so freely and happily.

"Daddy, why are you laughing?" His precious daughter, Wang Liyao, asked with a cute and confused face. She was still young and didn't understand what this meant.

"I'm laughing, of course, because..."

My daughter has the potential of an Emperor!
